Shared Space

As you may well have seen from the posters etc, around the Parish, on Tuesday 21 July at 7.30 pm the Parish Council will be hosting an open meeting in the Memorial Hall on the topic of 'Shared Space' and how the residents of the Parish feel about this. We have identified a qualified
landscape architect, Mr Ben Hamilton-Baillie, who has prepared feasibility studies for other
communities in the South West and elsewhere. He has agreed to make a presentation to the Parish on that evening.

A feasibility study would cost in the region of £7,000 and since such a scheme would be centred on the village of Wrington, this means that while Redhill and Downside would not have a direct benefit, they would be affected because Parish money would be used to finance such a study. The Parish Council feels that it cannot move forward unless it has an idea of what the Parish feels about the concept - and it is only a concept at this stage.

Please make every effort to come, to listen and to comment.
